UPDATE: We updated this article to address concerns after a reader cited research and recommendations by the fact-checking organization Climate Feedback.
Climate Feedback presented their analysis of our source article, including academic publications by several of its contributors. They concluded the article contained misleading and unsupported details:
Key Take Away
Temperature measurements made with different instruments and methods over time must necessarily be adjusted to ensure high-quality records of temperature that reliably represent changes. The adjustments needed for land stations in the United States often increase the apparent long-term warming, but overall, adjustments actually reduce the global warming trend.
What does an organization do when the real numbers don’t support the agenda they are pushing?
Sometimes they fudge the numbers. Cherry pick what helps prop up the lie and ignore the real facts.
This happens so often that The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been doing just that in order to support their biggest science scandal: global warming. Selling their brand of science, their “truth” about global warming brings in extra funding, yet their data is off by 50%.
For the past 18 years, satellites have shown no global warming, where as the “the land based data sets like the ones maintained by NOAA for the US Historical Climate Network (USHCN) continue to show a warming trend.” How can this be?
One explanation, by meteorologist Anthony Watts, shows NOAA using readings from areas that experience Urban Heat Island effect, that is instruments surrounded by buildings, roads or airports nearby which raises the temperatures due to local “environment” and not climate or weather.

Does this surprise you?? This is the greatest hoax in history. Do we need to control pollution. Yes. Climate change just like the Paris Accord is nothing but a global money grab aimed at the American Economy.

You mean the Feds have been lying tell me it’s not so

Statistics 101 – you can make numbers say anything you want them to. It all depends on how you set up the data.
No surprise
I recall in the 70s the NOAA was doing a Global Cooling rant, and impending doom of the forthcoming Ice Age. Proven history of parroting to the narrative, and their funding justification. ZERO credibility, for decades…
I believe the worst could happen- ” Boy crying wolf” but in a much larger catastrophic result. When our kids get older and wiser and find out this was a hoax- what if something really does happen they will laugh it off!! WHOA!
Perhaps, and a prudent move. Also seem to recall, in the 80s, NOAA said sea levels would rise 6-8ft by year 2000, and 2-4 ft per year thereafter. Consider Hawaii’s Arizona Memorial…water level there about same for over 70 years…
